Childhood bad dreams

The other night at dinner my daughter was telling me about her bad dreams. I tried to console her by telling her I had bad dreams when I was her age. She asked me what it was about, but to save her from my ideas I declined letting her know. Anyways here it is. My reoccurring bad dream was watching my dad from my bedroom, when I was supposed to be sleeping, hold an Elders quorum meeting at the kitchen table. Doing what he should be doing. When all of a sudden the devil appears in a cloud of smoke and snatches him away, and I never see him again.
What was your reoccurring bad dream when you were young?

I'm a Google fool

You have to check out the latest gossip at Engadget. There is someone spreading rumors that Google is going to produce their own cell phone/ PDA that could threaten Apple's iphone. I must admit I'm not one to jump on the A-train, when the G-train is looking just as good, if not better. And well, I used to be a devoted Palm user I'm thinking the P-train is dead in its tracks look like everyone's leaving that party (just look at its stock). Lets not forget the berry, Oh yeah someone left it on the tree to long and they're over ripe.
Looks like the cell phone wars are no really heating up and were the beneficiaries. Yeh me.
Any more Google gossip you want to share with me is welcomed.

I have to disagree with some of this quote. I don't think happinees is something we are as much I believe happiness is something we choose to be. Just as the opposite is true you can choose to be miserable.

Conservative or Capitalist?

I prefer to be know as a Capatalist. Though I support most Conservitive views I do agree that there is a place in the world or society for liberals .
Capitalism allows me to change my mind about my political views as I did in support for the Democats in both the House and Senate. I think at this point it gives the Americans a more balanced government. But I still get to pursue the dream of wealth beyond measure and balance it with a social conscience for the poor and needing.

We should have a Coup

Need a passport? Well your going to wait in very long lines, and weeks to get one. Luckily I don't need one, but if I did I would be the unlucky sod that has to wait in these long lineups. And I HATE waiting in lineups.

Again, I was reading an article online and had this thought here is the article.

Why do we subject ourselves to these ridiculous rules. Why don't we just stand up and say NO! Think if we all said no to this passport BS then we could force the government to change the rules, a Coup. No one would travel outside the country, no international business would happen, our GDP would drop to embarrassing levels. The government would be forced to change. How much would you save not buying a passport what would you do with the spare time you would save not standing in that embarrassingly long lineup.

OK I've had my rant. I know your going to say 9/11, terrorism, we are blessed to live in a free country, our soldiers are risking their lives for our freedom. Least I can do is buy a passport to insure the safety of my next flight. I just know that I don't plan on being one of these poor sods that have to spend all day waiting in a line to get a passport, praying they don't add insult to injury by getting a parking ticket. Seeing as I'm not going anywhere any time soon.
